During nursing school clinicals, I gained hands-on experience in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, long-term care facilities, and community health centers. I applied classroom knowledge to real-world patient care, developing skills in assessment, medication administration, charting, and communication. I worked under the supervision of experienced nurses and instructors, caring for diverse patient populations across medical-surgical, pediatrics, OB/GYN, and mental health. This experience strengthened my clinical judgment, time management, teamwork, and professionalism, preparing me for the transition into a practical nursing role.
